"He's had two-and-a-half months [since his arrest] to think about what to do about forming some kind of theory for defense in his own mind." Bob Motta said that originally. Gacy then begins to waffle, suggesting he doesn't remember most of the killings, that they may have been committed by others, or his own alter ego, "Jack Hanley." "He was absolutely a sociopath," Bob Motta said. "And his inability to have any kind of empathy was chilling." Bob Motta Jr. examines the possibility of more victims and even more accomplices. #BestGuestsBob M. Motta II is partner with the Chicago criminal defense and Kane County family law firm of Motta & Motta LLC; he concentrates his practice in Family law/Divorce and criminal defense with a focus in Felony Drug cases, DUI and weapons charges.
